Le Beau Marais is a newly restored gem that has been completely transformed into a luxurious and comfortable dream apartment. The large studio apartment is located on an historic and quiet "cul de sac," and promises a very tranquil "sejour" in the City of Light. Located on the third floor (3 flights up) with an elevator and digicode/intercom entry systems, this studio will amaze you with its well thought-out fit and finish, seen to by our professional Interior Designer, Martine di Matteo. The color scheme is long on contrast, with blackberry and cream being most dominant. Exquisite fabrics are evident throughout the apartment and elegant Toiles de Jouy have been used to full effect.

The apartment can be enjoyed in five distinct spaces. Just inside the door and opposite one of the large windows, is an elliptical dining table with seating for four people. To the left is a sumptuous cream colored, leather sofa bed, which provides a comfortable night’s sleep for two. From the sofa, you will be able to watch a new flat screen television, equipped with cable TV and over 100 channels. The DVD player may get lots of use as you partake of the apartment’s video library.

Beyond the sofa bed is an open kitchen, complete with full sized combination microwave and traditional oven, two-burner stove, “Nespresso” coffee machine (and pods provided), refrigerator and all the utensils and cooking implements that you may need. The expansive countertop gives loads of space to practice your culinary skills and the window in the kitchen provides a great cross breeze in summer.

The bathroom is sleek and shiny, with an ample supply of plush towels, a heated towel rack, shower with rainfall showerhead and a washer/dryer combination machine.

The bedroom area of Le Beau Marais is sumptuous, with a comfortable new queen-size bed, flanked by matching night tables. An apartment-wide drapery can be drawn closed to make this area into its own private sanctuary. There are two large closets with mirrored doors, which provide lots of storage space for clothing and personal effects.

Staying connected will be easy from Le Beau Marais, with free WiFi internet access and unlimited free telephone calls to over 70 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and most European countries.

The Area Around Cité Dupetit Thouars...Le Marais of the Knights Templar

This spot in Le Marais is not only one of the most historical, but is also one of the most convenient! This is the "Quartier du Temple," where the Knights Templar, a religious and military order formed in the 12th-century to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land, had a large portion of land and where their Templar Tower stood. It later became a prison for the doomed French monarchy, including Marie Antoinette. The Tower was razed in 1808, and the Carreau du Temple market built in its place in 1857 by Baron Haussmann, along with the Mairie for the 3rd arrondissement and the park, the Square du Temple -- a great place for kids to play or relax under the trees. The Carreau du Temple is scheduled for a major renovation to provide a multipurpose public center within the next five years. The nearby Marché des Enfants Rouges (corner of rue de Bretagne and rue Charlot) is the oldest covered market in Paris, built in 1615, named for the red uniforms worn by the children of a neighboring orphanage.

The entire area surrounding rue de Bretagne embraces the heart of the "Haut Marais" and central Paris with all the typical French commerce you could ever wish for, including three boulangeries (bakeries), a number of boucheries (butchers), poissonneries (fish markets), epiceries (grocery stores), primeurs (fruit/vegetable shops), fleuristes (flower shops), bar/tabacs (tobacco shops), cafés and lots of excellent and charming restaurants.

The apartment is only minutes walk from Place de la République which offers five Métro lines and buses, plus plenty of commerce -- all the banks are represented there as well as important merchants such as "Darty," "Go Sport," "Grand Optical," "Habitat" and many more. At this juncture, one easily can reach by foot all Le Marais has to offer (Musée Picasso, Place des Vosges, Saint-Paul, Hôtel de Ville and Notre Dame) as well as the Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th district and the Montorgeuil market street in the 2nd arrondissement. The location is superb for accessing everything you want in the City of Light.

We truly enjoyed our stay at "Le Beau Marais." Everything we needed was there. The decoration is amazing and so is the use of the space -- so well thought! This area of Paris is very lively and yet the street is quiet. from the moment we decided to rent this apartment to the time we left for the train station we appreciated the full proof organization of Parler Paris Apartments.

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful apartment.

Sandy F., Hillsborough, CA

I was very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this small apartment was for a four-week stay. We enjoyed the lovely walks we could take to many of the most interesting parts of the city. It meant a lot to be able to make calls from from the apartment and to be able to do laundry as we needed to. Great choices in design, colors, furniture and use of space -- as artful as the glorious city itself.

Our family enjoyed our rental experience with Parler Paris. My husband and I were in Le Beau Marais and our adult children were in the apartment below us, L'Aubergine. Both apartments had everything we needed for our stay. We appreciated the greeter meeting us and getting us settled and for being our contact in case we needed anything. The location of these apartments was ideal--on a quiet street yet close to stores and the bustling Place de la Republique. We especially like the new Nespresso machine in Le Beau Marais--a great way to start the day and a lovely way to enjoy an evening. We were very comfortable.

Le Beau Marais was the perfect pied-à-terre for my month long stay in Paris. The apartment is centrally located with the Monoprix, three banks, a boulangerie, two Métro stations and several cafés just steps away. Having a washer/dryer made it possible for me to keep packing to a minimum. Had I not, there was plenty of closet space - almost more than at home. With wifi, I was able to stay in touch with the office and family. I truly enjoyed my stay.

Eleanor M., New York, NY

Highly recommended apartment...exactly as portrayed on the Web site, as well as spotlessly clean and well fitted out. Location is great with Métro just around the corner so every part of Paris is easily accessible. Local restaurants and cafés offer a great mix of menus and the local bakeries are to die for -- live now and diet later. Service excellent from booking online through to meet and greet. We will return!!!!!

Traveling alone, my studio was perfect. The apartment was stylish, comfortable and clean. It had everything that I could possibly need. Listening to French CD's on the stereo while eating fabulous cheese and drinking fantastic red wine while sitting relaxed in my own apartment in Paris was a dream come true. The location was terrific...large supermarket around the corner as well as 2 metro stations just a short walk away, plus I could walk to anywhere in the Marais area plus many other areas as well. I could even walk to the Louvre. The neighborhood was very French...no tourists to speak of and within a few days I felt just like a local. After a long day sightseeing it was wonderful to come home to a very special apartment.

Stay just downstairs from friends or family by also renting L'Aubergine! The two apartments are located in the same great building! This is the perfect answer for friends, couples or parents with children who want their own privacy, but don't want to stay far apart from one another. All apartments are very well equipped and equally charming.
